27 mins confidence:   especially og preferentially
Explanation:
Well, we were under Denmark for 400 years, so no wonder the written language in the late 18 hundreds still was pretty much the same as Danish - and some translators I edit from Danish into Norwegian still seem to think it is...
I think the word in this context could be translated with especially or preferentially, in modern Norwegian I think we would say "fortrinnsvis", "især", "spesielt" or similar words.
